Craft Product Favorite: Lawn Fawn “Bright Side” Papers and Acrylic Stamps

Craft Product Favorite: Lawn Fawn “Bright Side” Papers and Acrylic Stamps

When I went to CHA this last January Lawn Fawn was on my top five picks of products that caught my eye.  Lawn Fawn is a fairly new company that started in 2010 with their amazing photopolymer stamps and this year they debuted a brand new paper line, “The Bright Side,” as well as more adorable stamps and twine. The owner, Kelly Marie, as I’ve mentioned before is an absolute sweetheart. If you watch her YouTube videos, you can actually […]

Craft Product Review: Unity Stamps

Craft Product Review: Unity Stamps

  As you know from my review of the LaBlanche stamps last week, I am a stamp girl.  I love trying stamps on all kinds of mediums and using different types of inks, and I rarely make a project without incorporating stamps into it somehow.  So I was delighted to be able to review not one, but two types of stamps from Unity Stamp Company.   I received both a cling mount stamp set (Art & Soul by Marah Johnson) […]

Craft Product Review: LaBlanche Stamps

Craft Product Review: LaBlanche Stamps

When I first ventured into the crafting world over a decade ago, I began with scrapbooking.  Just a couple years later, I was invited to a home stamping party, and I had no interest in going – I thought, “What could stamping possibly have to do with scrapbooking?”  And even more, I had seen the stamping others had done – you know, the detailed country-looking images, colored in with colored pencils, and I just had no interest in that whatsoever.

Craft Product Review: Schlosser Designs Cling Mount Stamps

September 14, 2010

Craft Product Review: Schlosser Designs Cling Mount Stamps

I love rubber stamps. They are so versatile! You can use them on scrapbooks, fabric, altered projects, cards….well, almost anything. Last year, I met Erin Schlosser at CHA and discovered that she was designing and selling her own rubber stamps, along with sewing patterns. Oddly enough (this is how life works, my friends) her ice cream maker died just as I was getting ready to sell mine- same make- at a yard sale. We worked out a swap: my ice […]
